Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures.
However, I think it's only right to include this video again in the post - some of us may only have seen it about 24 times and so need to keep it to hand.

A quick break from Iceland as Jake Gyllenhaal pops out for coffee, 28 June
What with all the excitement yesterday of watching Jake Gyllenhaal pull the leg off a reindeer and smash his way into an ice cave, we didn't get the chance here to admire Jake's Nike as he took it out for a coffee at Urth Cafe in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, 28 June.
Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures.

[Updated Update] PoP costumes! Jake Gyllenhaal in Pittsburgh - Be on your guard! Anaheim PoPs and Moptop Jake. And a Yoghurt trip...
[Updated Update:] You know what they say, you can never update a Jake Gyllenhaal post too many times, and proving that ancient adage right here are the beautiful, extraordinary and very uncomfortable Prince of Persia costumes currently being exhibited at D23 Expo. This reminds me of the other traditional saying, passed down through the generations: 'Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise.' Many thanks to Screencrave for the wonderful pictures and the coverage.
At the risk of updating an updated update, here are some closer pictures of these amazing costumes courtesy of Latino Review.
On with the post (again...)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that encountering Jake Gyllenhaal unexpectedly (or expectedly for that matter) can have a detrimental effect on one's health and nerves. I can myself vouch for this, having suffered flu (twice), Chicken Pox, a dislocated toe, near hypothermia, suspected appendicitis and more than one hangover, as a direct result of seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in person. I'm assured that a vaccine is currently in development.
This post has been edited by request and I apologise for any upset caused.
However, forewarned is forearmed, and today there was a report that for one day, during the last week of September, Love and Other Drugs filming will take place at the former Aliquippa Hospital in Pittsburgh. If you think you may be susceptible to the GyllenVirus, avoid this area, especially if you have any involvement whatsoever with coffee.
The good news is that this is a former hospital - a remedy may be at hand in the case of any medical emergency. The bad news is that this is a wet scene. So, not only is there the threat of Jake Gyllenhaal being filmed wet (I repeat, being filmed wet), which would clearly exaggerate any symptoms, you may also get a cold. Don't say you haven't been warned.
Now that the serious public health warning is out of the way, I can get on with the post.
It will not have escaped your attention that Jake is soon to appear on our 20 foot theatre screens as the Prince of Persia. Tomorrow, the first proper look at the film will take place at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California. Fans will be able to see exclusive footage (even an actual clip, maybe?) from the movie during a presentation that will include Nicholas Cage. Let us all keep our fingers crossed that we get to hear something about this tomorrow, and I don't mean Nicholas Cage. You can follow events here.
I know that bench...
Despite the huge wide appeal of Prince of Persia, Jake still continues to be seen by many as the Indie King. This was affirmed in an interesting blog article and interview with independent filmmaker Joe Leonard. On being reminded of how unfair it is that good stories often get little money, compared to the big summer blockbusters, and how they are often ignored or even never made in the first place, Joe replied 'I do think there's a place commercially for good stories that are character-based -- but it's a hard business, and the more arty you get, the less likely you are to find your way into a big budget or big return. I do know that actors want to do good work, though -- and that's an ace in the hole. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't necessarily want to do "Scary Movie 9." So if your script is good enough and he gets his hands on it somehow, I like to think that you have a shot at making an ambitious character movie. Then suddenly, if Jake Gyllenhaal is involved, raising money and finding distribution works with an extra set of zeros.'
It works both ways. Having popular, mainstream films under one's belt as an actor leaves the door open for other opportunities.
You will have noticed that this post is illustrated with photographs of Jake from Moonlight Mile. The blame for this can be placed firmly on the shoulders of the Beatles, who have taken over the world this week (even space). If it were not for money issues, we would have seen Joe and Bertie slowly dance to Baby's in Black and not Moonlight Mile. However, the song and title may have changed, but Jake kept the haircut.
Opinion is still divided on whether this is Paul McCartney pictured with Jake at Cannes back in 2007.
I knew it must be Beatles Day when I walked into my local HMV store today but first had to cross the Abbey Road zebra crossing.
This post is available in mono and stereo.
Updated to add: On 3 September, proving that there is more to Jake's diet than caffeine and veg, Jake and Reese took the kids for frozen yoghurt at Twist in Brentwood. We now have the pictures - more at IHJ. Thanks to them!

Brothers poster! And Jake Gyllenhaal turns up - Venice, CA, 9 July
When you see a trailer, you know a poster can't be far behind and today we get a look at the first poster for Brothers, courtesy of Cinematical.
Obviously, the first thing that we will all notice is that Tobey Maguire is not wearing a shirt and Jake Gyllenhaal is. To say that I'm dumbfounded by this mixup is an understatement. Despite this regrettable error, this poster presents a powerful image of a family splintered.
So, how about a UK release date?
Jake is back - and so is the LiveStrong band
After what seems like an age in Hollywood, Jake has at long last turned up! Proving that the Intelligentsia coffee house in Venice is the new Peet's Caffe, Jake was seen yesterday drinking something red while reading something intriguing and wearing the t-shirt of Goodness Mfg. And I quote: 'Goodness Manufacturing is a full service advertising agency, founded on one philosophy. We create brands people fall in love with. By any means necessary. We are all hard-charging midnight-oil-burning advertising zealots dedicated to this philosophy and we see only opportunity on the horizon.'
Several things to note here (beware of incoming WDW list...): Jake's left wrist suggests his mind is clearly on the Tour de France; Jake has spectacular new Nike; who is the mysterious owner of the other Blackberry cup of the red stuff; Intelligentsia is a very long name to fit over a door. This coffee house visit was captured by the 'Nice video camera man' and you can see that video here. Looking great, Jake!
NB My YouTube channel has been deleted because I posted the Brothers trailer from Entertainment Tonight. No email from them, no warning, nothing - all deleted. Shame on you.
Many thanks to IHJ for the very welcome new pictures!

Bedhead Jake needs coffee, Peets 27 February
The net might be buzzing at the prospect of an all singing, all dancing, all baseball playing Jake Gyllenhaal in Damn Yankees - hot on the heels of his hip hop video debut - but yesterday (27 February) Jake focused on what really matters: getting a coffee at favourite haunt Peets in Santa Monica. Or is it a nice cup of tea? Yet again, Jake gives us cause to celebrate the demise of the beanie.
